Botswana Green Cable Tray Specifications and Dimensions Table

Green cable trays in Botswana are available in ladder, perforated, and trough types, with standard widths, depths, lengths, and material thicknesses suitable for industrial and commercial installations.

Cable Tray Types and Materials

Ladder Tray: Open rung design for heavy cable loads, maximum heat dissipation, and long support spans. Ideal for power and solar DC runs. Perforated/ Trough Tray: Solid or ventilated bottom for continuous cable support with ventilation openings.

Suitable for instrumentation and control cables. Wire Mesh Tray: Welded steel wire construction for light cable loads, flexible routing, and easy installation. Materials commonly used in Botswana include galvanized steel, stainless steel, and FRP (fiber-reinforced plastic), all with corrosion-resistant coatings for durability in harsh environments.

5Flexible routing; lightweight and easy to installNotes on Selection: Width determines cable capacity; deeper trays allow vertical stacking but may increase heat concentration. Material thickness affects load capacity and allowable span; thicker steel supports heavier cables. Ladder trays are preferred for high-current power cables due to better heat dissipation.

Perforated trays are ideal for sensitive instrumentation or where aesthetics matter. Wire mesh trays are suitable for light-duty applications and retrofit installations.
